Warriors at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 120, Warriors 115
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no reason at all to bet the Warriors on the road. They are an abysmal 7-28 away from home and have lost 10 straight road games.
Meanwhile, Memphis is 28-5 at home.
The line isn’t bad for a wager on the Grizzlies, but there is better value betting the spread, whether you like the Warriors or the Grizzlies to cover.
Against the spread
The Warriors are not really any better on the road against the spread. They are 7-28 straight up on the road and 8-25-1 ATS away from home.
They are generally a bad bet away from home.
The Grizzlies are 20-12-1 ATS at home.
The Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 21 at home just nine days ago.
BET GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Their last meeting 9 days ago had 241 total points.
The Over is 9-2 in the Warriors’ last 11 road games against teams with a home winning percentage higher than .600 like the Grizzlies.
The Under is 5-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 7 games following a straight-up win.
Two of the 3 meetings between the teams have had totals higher than tonight’s projection.
BET OVER 233.5 (-110).
